MOSES B. BROWN, OF WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS.

BROOM-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,883; dated July 7,1885.

Application filed August 15, 1884.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Mosns B. BROWN, of \Valtham, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Broom-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide an improved device adapted to be secured to a wall or other support for the purpose of holding a broom,and, if desired, a dust-pan and brush or other articles; and it consists in the improved holder which I will now proceed to describe and claim.

Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved holder. Fig. 2 represents a front view, and Fig. 3 a top view.

The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.

In the drawings, a represents my improved holder, which is composed of a single piece of wire bent at its center into a loop, 2, adapted to receive a screw, whereby the holder may be secured to a wall and bent outwardly at right angles to said loop to form elastic arms 3 3, adapted to grasp and support a broomhandle placed between them, and then bent backwardly at the outer ends of said arms to form diagonal braces 4, adapted to bear against (No model.)

the wall to which the holder is applied. The braces 4 terminate in hooks 5 5, which are adapted to support a dust-pan anda brush, or such other articles as may be hung upon them. It will be seen that? the braces 4 support the outer ends of the arms 3, and cause said arms to grasp the broom-handle more tightly, particularly when said braces support a dust-pan and brush, the weight of said articles pressing the arms 3 inwardly to a slight extent.

The described device is very simple and inexpensive, and constitutes a convenient appliance for household use.

I claim 1. The improved broom-holder composed of a single piece of wire bent to form the loop 2, broom-holding arms 3 3, and braces 4 4:, as set forth.

2. The improved broom-holder composed of a single piece of wire bent to form the loop 2, arms 3 3, braces 4 4, and hooks 5 5, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 9th day of August, 1884.

MOSES B. BROXVN.
